Will birds not come to the feeder if there are two stuffed animals right next to it, or will they not mind?
Hypothesis
I'm going to have two feeders on my deck and one will have two stuffed animals next to it and the other will just be a normal feeder with seed in it. I think that they will not go for the feeder with the two stuffed animals, because there is one on the other side of the deck that does not have any stuffed animals next to it!
Materials:
I will need two bird feeders, bird seed, and two stuffed animals (one will be a teddy bear the other will be a beaver) to go next to one of the feeders.
My Method is to: put two feeders on the deck one with stuffed animals the other not, and watch what happens over five days, and see which one birds tend to go to. I will weigh both of them on all the days. I will weigh how much i have left on the last day. If there is a significantly more in one then the other i will take a picture so everyone can see, or if there are birds swarming one and not the other, or if the squeals find them!

Time: 12:50. .5 ounces
Time: 12:52. 2.5 ounces
Conclusion:
On all three of these days nothing has happened so far. I don't think the birds have found the feeders yet, so I extended the peirod of my experiment, it was going to be 3 days. Now i'm going to collect data for 5 days. On day 3 it rained and got the stuffed animals wet, so I had to put them in the dryer.
On the last 2 days the birds found both of the feeders, but one of the feeders on the last day almost had nothing in it. So they definitely found the feeders, but it took 3 days for them to find it.
